"Shi Eunuch as a Jinwu, marry a wife as Yin Lihua" This was the dream of Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor, when he was young. Of course, he did not become the mighty Jingo in the end, but Yin Lihua did become his wife. So, what kind of woman can make a generation of emperors make such an exclamation? Today we will talk about this woman named Yin Lihua.

Yin Lihua was born in a wealthy family in Xinye, Nanyang, whose ancestors were guan Zhong, a generation of famous people who helped Qi Huan achieve the Spring and Autumn Hegemony. Although the Yin family has a wealthy family, it has not produced high-ranking officials and dignitaries in a hundred years. Therefore, the Yin family does not have any political power in the government and the opposition.
The era when Yin Lihua grew up coincided with Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne and the failure of the reform, the soldiers were in chaos and swords were everywhere. In such a year, Yin Lihua met Liu Xiu, who had loved her all her life.
Liu Xiu was the ninth grandson of liu bang in the western Han dynasty. Because of the principle of the "Tui En Ling" of the descending of the princes, Liu Xiu's father's generation was no longer a prince and grandson nobleman, but only a county order petty official. The father of this county commander also died when Liu Xiu was nine years old. Liu Xiu, who lost his mother at an early age and recently lost his father, became an orphan and was raised by his uncle Liu Liang and became an ordinary family.

Liu Xiuqi was different from the descendants of ordinary kings and grandsons, he was quite chivalrous and loved farming, so he was often "teased" by his brother, comparing him to Liu Xi, the brother of his ancestor Liu Bang.
Liu Xiu's brother-in-law happened to live in Xinye, Nanyang, and was related to the Yin family. Therefore, Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu met because of this relationship. Yin Lihua's beautiful and virtuous appearance instantly attracted Liu Xiu's eyes and fell in love with her at first sight.

Even if he went to Chang'an to study, Liu Xiu never forgot Yin Lihua, a beautiful woman. When he saw the spectacular scene of Zhi Jingo walking through on the street, he couldn't help but sigh that "the eunuch should be the one who holds the jingo, and the wife should be Yin Lihua". This was the most beautiful dream in his heart at that time.
The dream came true, and I had no choice but to marry her
In the last years of the new mang, because of a blind reform system, the people were not happy, and they encountered a drought for many years, and the people were miserable. At the time of the great chaos in the world, Liu Xiu, after careful consideration, raised an army from Wancheng under the banner of "restoring the cause of the ancestors and fixing the autumn of the ten thousand worlds".
More first emperor Liu Xuan stills Yu Bo
At this time, Liu Xuan had already ascended the throne as emperor because of the election of the Liu clan, and was known as the "More First Emperor" in history. However, the emperor's ascension to the throne caused dissatisfaction among the Liu clan in Nanyang County, including Liu Xiu's brother. In the end, Liu Xiu's brother was beheaded by Emperor Gengshi. Liu Xiu was sad and decided to taoguang and be more humble. Soon after being made the Marquis of Wuxin by Emperor Gengshi, Liu Xiu finally proposed to the Yin family and married his dream lover Yin Lihua, and his long-cherished wish for many years finally came true.
Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu became married
The Liu clans proclaimed themselves emperors one after another, and the suspicion of Liu Xiu by the first emperor made Liu Xiu's situation more and more difficult and difficult. At this time, a woman named Guo Shengtong appeared in front of Liu Xiu. Guo Shengtong was the niece of Liu Yang, the King of Zhending, and represented the power and strength of Liu Yang's lineage behind him. In order to relieve the predicament, forced to be helpless, Liu Xiu married Guo Shengtong as his wife. When he married Guo Shengtong, he had been married to Yin Lihua for less than a year.
Liu Xiu conquered the world
Because of Liu Yang's help, even after breaking with the Gengshi Emperor, Liu Xiu had the upper hand. With a million soldiers and soldiers in the city, Liu Xiu was thus proclaimed emperor under the support of soldiers and clans, a new dynasty was established, and the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty came.
Liu Xiu, who ascended the throne as empress, immediately took Yin Lihua to his side, but by this time Guo Shengtong had already given birth to her and Liu Xiu's first child, Liu Jiang.

After a long absence, Yin Lihua was naturally happy to face her husband, but after seeing Guo Shengtong and Zhi'er, she was inexplicably sad. However, Yin Lihua understood that Liu Xiu was no longer the young man who only farmed in the field, but an emperor, so naturally she would not belong to her alone.
After resolute resignation, he became an emperor for thousands of years
Liu Xiu's heart naturally intended Yin Lihua to become his empress, which was his wife. However, Guo Shengtong became an embarrassing existence. Not only has she already given birth to her eldest son, but behind it is also the support of the Zhending royal family. The world has just been unified, and it is precisely a hundred wastes waiting to be rebuilt, and it is necessary to use this force. Therefore, even if Liu Yang later rebelled, Liu Xiu did not implicate his family.

Because of this layer of background, Yin Lihua, the empress, could never do it. She knew it in her heart. Therefore, when Liu Xiu proposed to set her up as the queen, he was opposed by Yin Lihua. Even if Liu Xiu insisted repeatedly, Yin Lihua still did not agree. Liu Xiu understood Yin Lihua's painstaking heart, and finally established Guo Shengtong as the crown prince, and Liu Jiang as the crown prince. At this time, it was already the second year of Jianwu, and it was conceivable that for the sake of this empress's position, Liu Xiu had been thinking about it for nearly a year.
Stills of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu
Guo Shengtong played a great role as a bridge between Liu Xiu and the Zhending royal family in the early Eastern Han Dynasty. But as the situation stabilized, this role became smaller and smaller. Out of guilt for Yin Lihua, after Liu Xiu gave Yin Lihua the position of nobleman, he did not forget to reward the Yin family in a big way. The Yin family became the most prominent family outside the Liu family.
Guo Shengtong stills
Because of Liu Xiu's perennial love for Yin Lihua, Guo Shengtong's jealous heart blinded her eyes after the second time of concealment, and he even told Liu Xiu hysterically about the resentment in his heart. This naturally caused Liu Xiu's dissatisfaction, and he always had the will to establish Yin Lihua in his heart, and finally guo Shengtong made such a fuss, and there was a reason for the abolition. However, Liu Xiu still had gratitude to Guo Shengtong in his heart, so after the abolition, he promised her the position of "Empress Wang" and let her go to her son's fiefdom to enjoy her old age.
Stills of Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua
Shortly after Yin Lihua was enthroned, liu jiang, the prince who was in long-term anxiety, also gave up his position as crown prince to Liu Yang, the son of Yin Lihua, who later became the HanMing Emperor Liu Zhuang.
Yin Lihua finally sat on the throne of the empress that belonged to her. The feelings between the empresses did not fade with the growth of time, and they walked hand in hand for thirty-four years. Liu Xiu took a step ahead of Yin Lihua and entered the mausoleum of the two of them to wait for Yin Lihua to come together.
Yin Lihua went from being a big girl to a generation of sages, and in addition to the virtuousness of her own personality, she was the biggest dream of the Guangwu Emperor when he was young. Therefore, there is the harmony of the empress, and there is the act of Yin Lihua giving way to the throne. Because she knows she's deeply loved by a man, and that's enough.
